Dixie was a lady and a Rodeo Queen Billy was her lover ah you know what I mean
Billy rode the bulls in the big rodeo Dixie loved…
…her man and she told him so
Dixie loved her man and she told him so
Brought a bad bull to the big rodeo said he killed a man out in…
Then Billy he looked at Dixie looked her right in the eys

He was just a hometown cowboy his belly kind of fat
Acme boots up on his feet and a big U-roll-it hat

To please his little sweetheart with the long blond hair
He borrowed himself a bull rope spurs and a…

To prove he was no coward to the girl he loved
His bull was standing in the chute his girl was in the stands
Wating to hear the…

You made a few bucks at a show down in Texas
You rode the train north through the sand and the sage
It took all you had…
…to make entry in Denver
A cheap hotel room like a cat in a cage
But you hit a good lick when you won the bull doggin'
Marked eighty points…
…on that old Brahma bull
The entry fees high up in Utah they tell me
But you're going there with a back pocket full
Get out while…
Cause I'm like an old rodeo bull
Awaiting on someone to shout fool
I'll knock the cowboy right outta his boots
I throw you…
I'm the bull that can't be rode
An animal that won't do as he's told
And I don't mean as to be so bold
But you be known that I'm the first in…
…
Songs will be written... stories told
About the bull that cannot be rode
And the legend will never die
'Cause we belong hold on, hold on
[Chorus:]
8 seconds…
…like I'm Ralfy the Plug
But it's the Ruler, fuck with me, gon' get slumped
[Chorus: Drakeo the Ruler]
In Cavalli but I came out the slums
On Rodeo…
…lamb chop
Now watch a ghost on your stage, stuck again
Here I am, here I am
[Chorus: Drakeo the Ruler]
In Cavalli but I came out the slums
On Rodeo…
…: Drakeo the Ruler]
In Cavalli but I came out the slums
On Rodeo but I still got my drum
Thought I had life until I posted a dub
Man…
…like I'm Ralfy the Plug
But it's the Ruler, f*ck with me, gon' get slumped
[Chorus: Drakeo the Ruler]
In Cavalli but I came out the slums
On Rodeo…

Here I am, here I am

Billy John grew up just west of Waco
He used to bare knuckle fight just for fun
He was as wild as a Texas tornado
And a bull…
…ridin' son of a gun
Then one Saturday night down in Jasper
He drew a bull they called Dust Devil Rage
And that twenty-two hundred…
…one hell of a cowboy in Heaven
At that big rodeo in the sky
Ohh that big rodeo in the sky
My granddaddy rode in the thirty's
He…
…rode him to the ground?
Any kid knows where to find me: I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
In the ridin' and a ropin' I was closin' in…
…on No 1
Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never won
Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo grounds…
…smile into a frown
The crowd thinks I'm a dandy, I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
And I could ride 'em all the bulls and the broncos knew I was boss…
First you've gotta wanna get a hold
Bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place
And you'd better trust in you lady love…
Pray to God she don't give up on you right now
Live fast, die young
Bull rider
One hand hold is all you got
But you and the bull…
…as tight
Well it's something like a hurricane
Dancing with a kite
Well the rodeo this morning rode
It's a fact of life and it's tough to cut in…
First you've gotta wanna get a hold
Bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place
And you'd better trust in you lady love…
…outside the buckin' shoe
You lose a spur, you lose, you'll see me lose yourself
By now he's buckin' mean and dirty
Slingin' shit in…
…as tight
Well it's something like a hurricane
Dancing with a kite
Well the rodeo this morning rode
It's a…
He'll never wear a business suit
Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine
See that buckle shine
He won it in a rodeo
On a…
…silver limo parked out on the street
And he's not just a face in a martini crowd
He drinks long neck Bud and gets a little loud
The…
…to say
He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy
In a business world so fast
Oh but it's a different saddle
Than he once rode in the…

She told me she was lonely
And it would be all right
If happy ever after only meant one night
So we saddled up in satin and rode…

I knew that I was in for one hell of a ride
As I drew a bull so cruel they call him Satan's Pride
And the odds of gettin' even…
…you're in Texas
The cowboy's gonna always win
Then it came to the leavin' part
Well, leavin' Texas always breaks my heart
